inspection

before starting

1.Read all safety instructions at the beginning of manual.

2.Clean the light tower, removing dirt and dust, particularly the engine cooling air inlet and air cleaner.

3.Check the air filter for dirt and dust. If air filter is dirty, replace air filter with a new one as required.

4.Check all fastening nuts and bolts for tightness.

WARNING

Ensure adequate ventilation when operating the light tower in enclosed areas. The engine exhaust contains noxious elements.

Indoor Installation

Exhaust gases from diesel engines are extremely poisonous. Whenever an engine is installed indoors the exhaust fumes must be vented to the outside. The engine should be installed at least two feet from any outside wall. Using an exhaust pipe which is too long or too small can cause excessive back pressure which will cause the engine to heat excessively and possibly burn the valves.

Eliminate the danger of deadly carbon monoxide gas. Remember that exhaust fumes from any gasoline or diesel engine are very poisonous if discharged in a closed area. If the light tower is installed indoors, you must make provisions for venting the engine exhaust to the outside of the building.

Engine Oil Check

To check the engine oil level, make sure the light tower is placed on secure level ground with the engine stopped.

1.Remove the filler cap/dipstick from its holder and wipe it clean.

2.Insert and remove the dipstick from its holder. Check the oil level shown on the dipstick.

3.If the oil level is low, add oil through the oil filler hole. DO NOT overfill. Fill to the normal operating level as shown

on the dipstick. Verify that the oil level is maintained between the two notches as shown in Figure 6. Always fill with recommended type oil as listed in Table 4. See Table 2 for engine oil capacity.
